Wholesale bandshaking of the previous
day, appeared at the doorway with hat
doffed and many good natured bows to
the cheering crowd. He entered the
carriage and in trice was whirling through
the business district and out Washington
boulevard to the encampment. He was
accompanied by Mayor Roach. Gen. Terry
and dozen lesser dignitaries. Early as it
was, and threatening as was the day, the
sidewalks along the entire route were lined
with people including thousands who not
withstanding strenuous all day and
evening efforts yesterday had failed to see
the President or his vile in the general
confusion prevailing.
At THE ENcAMPMENr GROUNDS
q rapid drive was made past two or three
thousand troops drawn up in line. A
laundering salute from the artillery and
bows and smiles to couple OF thousand
spectators in the stands completed the
ceremonies at the encanpment. Without
delay the President boarded train for the
depot down town. from which the start to
Milwaukee was to be made. Mrs. Cleve-
land had preceded him by half an hour,
slipping quietly into a carriage at the ho-
tel and being driven to the depot compare
lively unobserved. Behind the long rail
ings on the platforms parallel with the
Presidential train, it seemed like
the quarter stretch on Derby
day, so closely packed and
excited were the people. Mrs. Cleveland
eazed out from the windows OF her car with
decided interest that heightened when the
President stepped from the incoming train
on the next track and briskly walked to
her side. At once chorus Of entreaties
went up for them to come out on the plat.
and "three cheers for Grover" were the
cries. Then Mrs. Cleveland in a green
travelling dress and the President with his
head uncovered appeared at the rear door
of the car. A mighty cheer rolled through
the depot. Just then the train began to
move, and while the multitude yelled itself
hoarse, the President and his fair young
wife waved farewell to Chicago.

pot platform. The Presidential salute was
fired by q battery. and the revenue
steamer Andy johnson opened her ports
and echoed response. Prearranged plans
were quickly put in operation, and an es-
cort of distinguished visitors took up posi-
ton and the parade began. 1t was the
largest turn out Of militia perhaps ever
seen in Milwaukee. including companies
from all over the State OF Wisconsin. As
the procession traversed the Inc OF march
there were frequent bursts of cheering, and

his hat in response to cordial salutatiOn-.
Mrs. Cleveland bore herself as serenely as
q queen.
